Took it to the dealership which as expected turned out to be a stealership. The dude says I need a new engine. See at 1:52 of this video he sent me:

The oil is not frothy so I dont think the coolant has made its way into the engine yet.
Will a water pump replacement help? How much does that usually cost? There is no oil in the coolant either.
Or is the dealership just bs-ing?
EDIT: reread your posts and listened to video and added comments[/EDIT]
Go to an independent local garage mechanic and get a diagnosis.
Before you took it in, was your coolant low? Have you had to keep refilling coolant over the past year?
EDIT: never mind. Reread your previous post... I've never seen coolant sold by the quart. Do you mean you used 1/4 of a gallon container per year? If so, that's slot to be adding. It's possible the engine might be damaged if it's been leaking coolant into the engine that long. Was the oil ever think or milkshaky?
You've been burning oil? How much oil have you had to add over past several months?
How long has the current oil been in the engine?
Hopefully a few months at least.
At this point, you really need to drain the oil and send a sample to Blackstone for analysis. See how much had been mixing with the oil.
Take to local mechanic for diagnosis, change oil , send oil sample in for UOA analysis.
If you need engine look at salvage engines, then new, then reman. Pick you poison.
EDIT: watched video. He didn't do compression test. No milky oil per the video. Have you notice any blue or white smoke out tailpipe. Does the engine stall or sputter? Plus you haven't thrown any codes? I think you need a second opinion just for peace of mind. It's 50/50 whether the engines bad. You do have the water pump leak, noises, etc. But no codes, no frothy oil, no sputtering, no overheating, no loss of engine power? Yeah 50/50. Get second opinion.
Also, if you need a new water pump and also need new engine gaskets/seals plus borderline engine problems, then replacement might be the way to go, if your keeping the car. At that many miles/years, I'd just throw a salvage engine in it.
Also, it's a 13 year old car... Get a cheap salvage engine( under $1000 ?) if you can find one and pay a local $600 to swap it out for ya.
